These are so delicious you’ll tank me every time you make them 🙂
When it comes to cooking and baking, the best recipes are the easy ones, the ones that require approachable and available ingredients, not too many bowls or dishes and minimum time invested, am I right?
Yes, some of the best recipes out there are recipes that call for an overnight cooling, patience and lots of quality ingredients, but really…at this point in my life, I’d take the easy recipes in both hands and worship them LOL
Recipes that are quick with the end result, do not require me to go out and buy specialty ingredients and are delicious at the and of it all – are the winners in my world.
Take this recipe for example, it has quality ingredients and results in these crunchy yet melt in your mouth maple pecan cookies. These cookies that taste like pecans with a hint of maple are the perfect pairing for your cup of coffee, cup of tea or just you late night craving.
My super picky girl devoured half the container, so yeah, I’m probably not going to win mother of the year, but at least I know I made something good (both the girl and the cookies obvi 🙂 )
These are made in a food processor bowl and are really easy to make while using minimum dishes – WIN in my world.
